This park is pure tranquility. My cousin and I found ourselves going from park to park in Brussels,…read moreand this one stood out the most. It's very cozy and tight nit, with beautiful trees, grass, and concrete (but not exactly sidewalk-like) walkways. Small wooden fences line many of the paths, and every now and then you'll come across a small field or areas made of dirt and pebbles to sit down while your dog or kids play. Additionally, there is a soccer court and playground hidden inside. The park is very clean, and has dog-waste baggies available to use. If you're in the area (or not), go here!

Parc Tenbosch is a small and unassuming park but walk in it and you will be wowed! I organized a…read morefriend's going away get together at this park (upon the suggestion of the said friend) and was so happy to have the chance to visit the park--it is extremely well tamed and cared for, no trash (outside of the trash bins) in site--a rare occurrence in Brussels, sadly! Unfortunately, we visited on a crappy (weather-wise) day, so didn't get to fully enjoy the park. There is a large area for kids to play in but leave the dog at home if you want to go in there as no dogs are allowed. My friend told me that when the weather is nice, they will put out beach chairs for people to enjoy and normally the park is quite crowded on these days! Looking forward to returning again when there is better weather!

Loving running at Bois de La Cambre. I love the nature, it's fresh air... This place has a great…read morerunning trail, and I mean is just gorgeous, I don't even get bored and most confess that after years choosing this spot for a run I still get surprised finding a new spot. Is very well conserved, which gives me great joy, to see that everybody is conscious on keeping this beauty alive. I used to live right in front of it and back then I didnt like all the dust in my terrace, now, living few blocks away yelp!!! I go everynow and then.

One of the most beautiful parks just a few kilometers off Avenue Louise. Most people go to Bois de…read morela Cambre for a walk on a sunny day; I do my running trainings there. One big loupe all the way from avenue Louise is 4.5 km and the smaller loupe around the lake 2.5 km. There is also the entrance to the forest if you really want to get lost in nature. A great choice for a hike, walk or run very close to Brussels' busy neighborhood

Another large and beautiful church we saw on our visit to Brussels…read more The church was massive and magnificent! The stained glass windows were beautiful. We came at the perfect time to see some light peeking through the glass into the pews. It was an amazing part of our journey. This is why we stop into churches and take a moment to look around.

This is a beautiful Gothic cathedral. I had the pleasure of visiting for an event called…read moreLuminescence. It had two showings at night, and it was a beautiful lightshow accompanied by music along with the retelling of its history. Truly a magical experience. A live orchestra played as the lights danced and illuminated the architecture. I would love to come back and see the stain glassed windows in all its glory in the daytime. But overall, it is obvious in its grandeur and beauty it also holds a great historical significance to Brussels.
